He's called Big Boss because he's the boss

His boss was called The Boss so his title is more important when he takes over

She's called Big Mama because she's a female boss

She's called Quiet because she can't speak

She's called Mama because she's a mother

He's called Heartman because his origin story involved heart surgery and he needs to start and stop his heart constantly.

He's called Sam Porter Bridges because his name is Sam and he's a porter who connects distant people

He's called Deadman because he's a person made of dead people body parts

He's called Higgs because Higgs boson is a deep reference to use

He's called Vamp because he's like a vampire

That doesn't even cover half of them throughout his games.

I'm trying to picture what it would be like in reverse, but all I can think of is some American kid writing a story where all of the characters are named after his favorite anime leads.

He's called Skullface because his face looks like a skull.

He's called Code Talker because he speaks multiple languages.

He's called Venom because anger is a cruel poison.

He's called Die-Hardman because... well I don't know actually, he can even take the mask off

This one bugged me because, once I found out about her, I had to drop a character in my story named Hush.

Well no wonder Kojima ignored it. He already had Liquid Snake.

The next step was Solid Mongoose.

Can't forget Dr. Strangelove, who was openly lesbian and worshipped the Boss

Always thought that codename a bit fucked up myself but it fits Kojimas naming convention (and penchant for pop cultural references) like a glove

And no one around to talk him out of this shit.

lol I finally got the explanation for this.

He's Die-Hardman man because he survived several battles in war so it's hard for him to die!

Why do most of the characters in Death Stranding have code names anyway? Who even gave it to them?

"Oh you're that guy with the heart thing right? You're known as Heartman now okay?"

There's like a handful of notable people left. Who's benefiting from code names? Is someone really bad at remembering names? lol
